motionEyeOS is a Linux distribution that turns single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi into a video surveillance system with camera monitoring and motion detection. It ships as a complete OS image rather than a package to install on an existing system.
Use cases
- turn a raspberry pi into a security camera
- build a diy cctv system
- monitor my home with a webcam
- motion detection video recording
- set up an ip camera server on a single board computer
- self-hosted video surveillance
When to choose
- you want a ready-made surveillance OS image for a single-board computer
- you need motion-triggered recording and camera monitoring without manual setup
- you prefer a dedicated device over installing software on an existing OS
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with guaranteed updates
- you want to run surveillance software on an existing Linux distribution instead of a dedicated image
- you need hardware support beyond what the distribution provides
